Transversus Abdominis Plane Blocks for Patients Undergoing Robotic Gynecologic Oncology Surgery: A Prospective Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Trial
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Bupivicaine and Placebo for Gynecologic Cancer and Post-operative Pain. Completed, enrolled 75 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study is a single-center, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trial. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of pre-operative transverses abdominis plane (TAP) blocks on post-operative analgesia in patients undergoing robotic surgery for gynecologic cancers.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
The TAP block will be placed using a standardized ultrasound-guided approach. Subjects assigned to the study group will have an injection of 30 mL 0.25% bupivacaine, a local anesthetic with 3 mcg/mL of epinephrine, placed into the plane between the internal oblique and the transversus abdominis
The placebo block will be placed in a similar manner, using a standardized ultrasound-guided approach. The placebo injection will consist of 30 mL sterile, preservative-free saline.
